Exterior
A pair of gate piers of coursed ashlar with 2 orders of mouldings to each angle. Moulded entablatures, slightly rusticated, surmounted by large ball finials on shouldered pyramidal bases.
Interior
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine pair of C17 classical-style gate piers, possibly the only survival for this phase at Mathafarn. Group value with house and service building.
